Hi,

The ftp login provided doesn’t have the right access. I can’t view or access your wordpress files.

It just open up a blank directory.

Kindly check and let us know.

Thanks

Hi there,

I have tried to login using the details you have provided but it doesn’t seem to work.

Kindly double check so that we could assist you further.

Hi Jade,

Just tested again, and it is working correctly.

Not sure if you saw earlier in the thread but it is a development server and you can only access it by editing your hosts file.

You can find the hosts file attached.

Cheers,
Michael

Hi Lely,

Not sure why that isn’t connecting – I just tested with those credentials again and previous support personnel in the thread have been able to connect to the ftp server as well.

Might be easier just to clarify what the problem is at this point, since I am not 100$ sure what some of the comments earlier in the thread have meant.

From my understanding there are two possibilities here – one is that I am using the shortcode wrong to filter portfolio categories for recent posts and/or two is that my theme installation is broken (have reinstalled once and still getting the issue),

Could you please clarify what the EXACT shortcode would be for the following scenario?
I have a PORTFOLIO category called “education” (with the exact slug “education”) – what should the RECENT POST shortcode text that I put into a text element in cornerstone be? to display ONLY THESE portfolio posts?

Really love the theme but I’m just getting frustrated with this functionality and want to make sure I am not making a silly error in getting this working.

Really appreciate your help and sorry for being a difficult support case with dev servers and host file redirects!

Cheers,
Michael

Hi Michael,

The correct shortcode for recent post with portfolio type is.

[x_recent_posts type="portfolio" count="4" offset="" category="commercial" orientation="horizontal" no_sticky="true" no_image="false" fade="false"]

But the issue seems not on the shortcode, but on the theme itself. Portfolio post is native to x|theme, and your Cornerstone does not recognise you’re using the x|theme, that is why the portfolio post option is not available for your recent post element.

This is also the reason why you have a Cornerstone panel on the Customizer, where that panel should only visible when you’re not on X|Theme.

Have you done something on the parent X|Theme that might affect this functionality? Please edit the parent x|theme style.css file back to this:

/*

Theme Name: X
Theme URI: http://theme.co/x/
Author: Themeco
Author URI: http://theme.co/
Description: An immensely powerful and endlessly customizable WordPress theme.
Version: 4.6.0
License: GNU General Public License v2.0
License URI: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html
Text Domain: __x__

*/

With that said you need to update your child theme as well.

Hope it helps, Cheers!

Hi Friech,

Thanks for clarifying that – managed to get it working with reinstalling the theme like you suggested.

Really appreciate your help!
